This debut is one of our Books' of the Month for January, along with another debut we’re wild about – Darkside. Star-crossed is the real thing – a book by a teenager for teenagers. An enormously talented debut novelist has come up with a fast-moving, compelling and surprising love story of Romeo and Juliet for the 21st Century with a school setting. Readers will love (and love to hate) the characters as they are totally cool, totally entertaining, totally sassy and totally clever.
Who wouldn''t want to star in the world''s greatest romance? Your dream''s come true. Your school''s doing Romeo and Juliet and you get the starring role of Juliet. Perfect! There''s just one catch: the boy you HATE is playing Romeo. He isn''t any old enemy - your families are at daggers drawn. A bit like in Romeo and Juliet ... except there''s no way you''re going to fall for him...
